Virtual Ring-Based Hole Avoiding Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Qingjun Mo, Guojun Wang, Weijia Jia, Sancheng Peng · 2008
Greedy routing protocols provide a scalable and cost effective solution for routing packets in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). However, such routing protocols can not be used in the networks where holes exist. We propose a virtual ring-based hole avoiding routing protocol (VRHAR) in MANETs where holes exist. Simulation studies show that the proposed protocol can improve the routing performance more effectively than existing greedy routing protocols.
